I recently adopted a parrot from a family member. This particular parrot, BaeBae an African Grey, is 22 and has never had his wings clipped, been to the vet, or even been out of his cage. (Yes, I know it's terrible! I hope to change all of this!)
I've had him about 2 weeks, and while he is eating very well and talking up a storm, he won't let me near his cage. He is a biter! I know this is because he is just not used to people coming to play with him.
I really want to be able to play with him and bring him in for a much needed check-up. I am absolutely not going to give up on him. I work with him every chance I get during the day (my poor dog is getting very jealous). Can anyone give me some advice on how to calm him down and stop the biting?
